Forgive my feebleness but it's been almost a year since i worked on this
project.

I have a CF app which communicates with a web service i've written to grab
data from SQL Server 2000 directly. I've set it up to access this web
service when cradled via ActiveSync.

It seemed like i had it working before but now I cannot access the
websrvice. I've tested the webservice (via the desktop that the PPC is
cradled to) through url to the asmx and it all works fine.

I've set the reference to the webservice which is in IIS. I deploy the web
app to the PPC while it's synced but cannot reach the webservice.

Questions:
1. With the PPC cradled shouldn't i be able to fire up Internet Explorer on
the PPC and hit the web? Or am i miserably confused?

2. Shouldn't i be able to hit the webservice running on my testbox via
ActiveSynced PPC? Any special settings to make on the device or in the Web
service app?

3. Does the PPC have to have an IP assigned to it first or other settings in
ActiveSync to allow this communication with the web service?

I know this is something simple and i've googled unsuccessfully - everything
is wireless while my problem, for now, is connecting via ActiveSync.

TIA Much!
Harry
